The special HOPE discount rate for rooms at the Hotel Pennsylvania
is now sold out — if you want a room there, you'll have to book it
at the normal rate, currently around $250 per night. You can do so
either online or by calling
+1 (212) 736-5000. You may (or may not) also be able to find
better rates by dealing with travel agents, online hotel consolidators,
and the like.

However, if that's too much money for you, we have some other
options. We have some slight discounts for other hotels in Midtown, and
a bit of advice for places to stay with fewer facilities or slightly
further away, either of which allows you to save some serious money. But
whatever you do, you should book as early as possibly — New York
is a popular place to travel, and lots of places are selling out. See
you at HOPE!

Special HOPE Attendee Discounts

We've been able to secure discounts for HOPE attendees at two
additional hotels, each about one crosstown block (less than five
minutes' walk) away from the Hotel Pennsylvania and the conference.

The New Yorker Hotel is
offering HOPE attendees single or double rooms for $199 per night. This
rate is unavailable online, so to book rooms, you must call
+1 (212) 971-0101 prior to July 10 and mention the HOPE
conference.

The Hotel Wolcott is offering HOPE attendees rooms for $210 per
night. To book online, use this
special link.

Other Affordable Options

There are probably hundreds of hotels in and around New York City.
Here are some more options we've found.

The Chelsea Star, about
five minutes' walk from HOPE, has dormitory beds for $35 per night and
private rooms starting around $229 per night.

The Americana Inn,
about eight minutes' walk from HOPE, has rooms starting at $115 per
night.

The Courtyard
Jersey City, about twenty-five minutes from HOPE by PATH train, has
rooms starting at $169 per night.

For more “budget” accomodations, see a list on ny.com, though some of
their listed prices are a bit out of date.

You can also use Orbitz or other
hotel search sites to find affordable places. As of this writing, for
example, Orbitz has rooms at the Hotel 309A Metropolitan Inn on West
14th Street for $89 per night, rooms at the Hotel 17 on East 17th Street
for $113 per night, beds at the Candy Hostel on the Upper West Side for
$42 per night, and several options near PATH trains in New Jersey
starting at $96 per night. If you're interested in any of these, it may
also be worthwhile to check out the rates directly from the hotels in
question; sometimes their direct-booking rates are lower (though
sometimes they're more expensive!)

Less Affordable Options

For those of you on expense accounts, the Affinia Manhattan is
only a block south of the Hotel Pennsylvania, also on 7th Avenue. The
Marriott
Marquis in Times Square is also a favorite destination for tourists with
money and businessmen seeking to impress.
